Dalvin Cook: I’m the best running back in NFL draft

One of the few criticisms Fournette faces is that he might not fit all offensive systems, especially ones that run a high volume of plays out of shotgun. Fournette dismissed that idea, instead saying that his power, speed and ability to catch the ball out of the backfield could allow him to settle into a similar role similar to the one Elliott assumed.

“It’s changing the game for the running backs,” Fournette said. “When him and Todd Gurley came out, they did a great job preparing us running backs nowadays to come out to even get a chance to get picked in the first round.”

Fournette racked up 616 rushing attempts for 3,830 yards (6.2 yards per carry) and 40 touchdowns in three seasons at LSU. He added 41 receptions for 526 yards and one receiving score.

“North-and-south runner,” Fournette said of his style. “Can make defenders miss. Can run over them. Can run past them.”

Part of the reason Elliott was so successful for the Cowboys was because he was surrounded by a talented quarterback in Dak Prescott and offensive line with three all-pros. He also became the team’s workhorse running back, leading the NFL in carries (322) and rushing yards wholesale jerseys us (1,631).

Fournette, however, was hampered with a nagging ankle injury for most of 2016, an injury he said that forced him out of the Tigers’ bowl game against the Louisville Cardinals.
